Austria is a small alpine country bursting with scenery, culture, and architecture. Austria has a long history of empires and music, and you can see this history embodied in concrete form in the proud traditions and grandiose buildings of its large cities.

Austrian mountain towns have much to offer travelers as well. The mountains provide year-round adventure, from skiing and snowboarding in the winter, to hiking and paragliding in the summer.

The Austrian people have a well-earned reputation for their hospitality and are generally less serious than their German neighbors. Austrian people simply like to have fun.
